IPv6 Configuration on Juniper

In this configuration example, we will configure IPv6 Address on Juniper Routers. For our Juniper IPv6 Address Configuration Example, we will use the below IPv6 Topology consist of three Juniper routers.

 

In this ipv6 configuration example, we will use the below IPv6 Addresses.

 

Interface Ge 1/1/1 2001:aaaa::1/64 (To Router 2)
Interface Ge 1/1/2 2001:bbbb::1/64 (To Router 3)

 

Router 2

Interface Ge 1/1/1 2001:aaaa::2/64 (To Router 1)
Interface Ge 1/1/2 2001:cccc::1/64 (To Router 3)

 

Router 3

Interface Ge 1/1/1 2001:bbbb::2/64 (To Router 1)
Interface Ge 1/1/2 2001:cccc::2/64 (To Router 2)

Let’s configure each Juniper router interfaces with IPv6 addresses given above.

To configure IPv6 addresses on a Juniper router interface, firstly, we should go to the edit mode on a Juniper router. To do this, we will use “edit” command. After edit command, we can set interface ip addresses on our routers. To do this, we will use “set interfaces interface-name unit 0 family inet6 address ipv6-address” command.

 

Here, we need also a Static Route for all the routers. Or we can use a Routing Protocol. Because, there is one more network for each Router, that they are not directly connected. As you know, routers can reach only directly connected routers without an additional route.

 

Here, the better solution is writing a static route for each router. We will explain it in the Juniper Static Route configuration lessons.
